Default COMP Cam and LTH or STH???

Two questions in one post. If I get a new comp cam, do I need to also replace the valve springs and such? And when you get a LTH, it cancels out the cat right? But I know in NJ its illegal to not have a cat on a street/daily driver car. So can I get a LTH and get a cat customly put in, or is it just easier to get a STH?

YES you will need new valve springs to handle the extra lift the comp cam is going to give you (anything over a crane 10 or comp equivelent)

that would be correct, only the springs , you should be able to get a spring set through Comp

You don't need to extend the o2 wires. I didn't, I just don't have my lower sensor in. It will throw a code, but if you already have P1684 that won't leave anyway or youre used to the CEL...**** it.

You can keep the cat btw. Any good muffler shop should be able to do it, unless they're dumbasses.

Get the LTH...

Then you're used to the CEL like me...

I would just leave it unplugged. But that's how lazy I am.
